Rick has the nicest smile😁 I could hardly wait to tune into his show in the 80s in LA to get a good laugh at his unusual jokes. He's the best comedian..and has brought so many people together.
Good clip 👍🏼 by the way
Started listening to him in early 80 on radio. Watched some of his tv show in early 90s. Hated Disco Duck 🦆. But he has really good radio voice an talent. 🎧🎤💿 And Casey Kashm with always be top DJ in my book . But I'm a fan and give him ⭐⭐⭐✨.
The runaway hit ''Disco Duck'' is alleged to have been recorded in a rundown part of Memphis on a small budget. Millions of copies of ''Disco Duck'' were sold however.
That lovely blond with him is his very talented wife, Julie.
